Background

Macikai POW and GULAG Camps is location of the German, later Soviet prisoner-of-war camp and the Soviet GULAG forced labor camp located near the village of Macikai (Matzicken) in German-occupied Lithuania and later, the Lithuanian SSR. The camp was opened and operated by Nazi Germany (1939–1944), and later became a Soviet prisoner-of-war camp No. 184 (1945–1948), finally transforming into a Soviet GULAG forced-labour camp (1945–1955).
